Oxford, Oxfordshire -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/07/2010 -- As the nation settles back into work mode after the Christmas break, BBC News Online reports the first day back to the grindstone is the most unproductive day of the year.

The Daily Mail states that as many as 64% of workers across the UK found holiday booking a way of shrugging off the back-to-work blues. A staggering 11% increase compared to January 2009.

Another travel website claimed that that short breaks are up to sixth place in the poll of priority spends compared with last year (Travel Weekly)
